    	Hi,

    Really sorry for this question...,
    But it makes a long time, I am trying to use the open_network_connection()
    function without any success.
    I have put the OUTBOUND_NETWORK option on.
    I try to open the connection for instance with: bananas.ac.uk (wich
    numerical adress is :138.40.95.8), typing:
       ;open_network_connection("bananas.ac.uk",1500)
    or ;open_network_connection("138.40.95.8",1500)

    the server answers something like:
    #-1:Input to EVAL, line 1:  Invalid argument

    Has anybody already used the open_network_connection() function?

    Thank you for any answer..
